Switzerland is prepared to see its bilateral economic accords with the European Union put on ice if the two sides cannot strike a compromise on curbing the inflow of foreign EU workers, Foreign Minister Didier Burkhalter said on Thursday.
He was addressing a news conference after the government said it would draft legislation allowing unilateral restrictions that contradict the free movement of workers, a key tenet of the bilateral treaties.
“If there is really no solution… we would be ready for a suspension of a part or all of the bilateral agreements,” Burkhalter said.
